Hf SSB and CW operation is a nostaligic activity akin to horseback riding.
If amateurs were demanding "black box" compter operated
rigs then Icom, Yaesu and Kenwood would have already produced
one. The Kachina 505 is no longer around. The Pegasus is the 
only "thinking outside the box" rig available. I do not want to be
forced to have a computer to operate my rigs. If this makes me 
a backward thinking boob, then so be it.
